Patent EP-0826811-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BIGOT DIDIER
IPC: D04H13/00
Filed: 1997-07-29
Abstract: The compound absorbent nonwoven material has a soft and a roughened surface, formed by at least two bonded fibre layers. The first layer is wholly or partially of thermofusible synthetic fibres, pref. of polyolefin. The second layer is of natural and/or artificial and/or synthetic fibres, thinner than the fibres of the first layer, and with a higher fusible temp. than the fibres of the first layer. The first fibre layer is processed to orient its fibres to be interlaced with the fibres of the second layer, and also give a looped effect on an outer surface of the material. Also claimed is a mfg. process, where the layers are brought together by fluid jets directed at least at the layer of thermofusible fibres, upstream of the needle bonding stage, at the surface which will be roughened in the finished material.

Abstract: A set of blends for extinguishment of fires, suppression of explosions, and inertion against fires and explosions is disclosed. The blends are comprised of a bromine-containing component and a fluorine-containing component. The bromine-containing component is comprised of one or more hydrobromoalkanes, hydrobromoalkenes, and/or hydrobromoarenes. The fluorine-containing component is comprised of one or more fluorine-containing halocarbons, which may also contain chlorine. Specifically provided as fluorine-containing halocarbons are saturated and unsaturated hydrochlorofluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, perfluoroethers, hydrofluoroethers, and/or hydrofluoropolyethers. This provides a blend that mimics the fire and explosion protection action of halons and hydrobromofluorocarbons without the environmental impact associated with these compounds, which contain bromine and fluorine in the same molecule.

Abstract: Process for the improvement of heat, or material, exchange in otherwise conventional equipment consisting of duplex vessels (1a,1b) each of which contains materials with differing properties, where one of these materials is a liquid. This liquid passes through line (4) to an isolator, or interrupter, (8) and from there to a source of pulsation (9a,9b), which imposes pulsating energy on the liquid. The frequency of this pulsation is to be half the resonant frequency of the system, as determined by the shape of the vessel, the temperature, and other properties of the material. The antinode (point of lowest pressure) of the standing wave is to be approximately at the middle of the vessel. Also claimed is the equipment required for this process.

Abstract: The stress measuring method uses a monochromatic light beam (6) with a polarisation which is switched periodically between linear and circular polarisation modes, directed onto the surface of the glass plate (1), with detection of the dispersed light within the glass plate via a video camera (20) and digital evaluation of the image for calculation of the stress. The angle of incidence of the light beam is selected so that the entire thickness of the glass plate is illuminated at a given point (A-A), with which the video camera is aligned, so that the image evaluation provides the stress for the full thickness of the glass plate.

Abstract: A detection circuit detects an abnormal current which
flows through a first output transistor. In this event, the
first output transistor is connected to an external power
supply via a load resistor. The above detection circuit
mainly includes a second transistor, a constant current
supply, a third transistor, a fourth transistor, and a
comparator circuit. The constant current supply supplies a
constant current into the second transistor. Further, the
third transistor is connected to the first output
transistor and performs an ON-OFF operation in synchronism
with the first output transistor. On the other hand, the
fourth transistor is connected to the third transistor in
serial and performs the ON-OFF operation opposite to the
first output transistor. Moreover, the comparator circuit
has a first input and a second input. In this event, a
first connection point between the second transistor and
the constant current supply is connected to the first input
while a second connection point between the third
transistor and the fourth transistor is connected to the
second input.

Abstract: The present invention enables a high-speed processing. 
     The present invention provides a memory management method
for a memory having a storage area divided into a plurality of
blocks, so that a data in each of the blocks is erased at once
when the block is initialized, wherein each of the blocks has
a flag indicating a block use state; wherein when erasing a
data written in a block, instead of executing an initialization
of the block, an erase flag of the block is set to an erase
state indicating that a data contained in the block is to be
erased; and wherein prior to writing a new data in a block
having the erase flag in the erase state, the initialization
processing is executed to the block, setting the flag of the
block to an initial state. It is preferable that each of the
blocks be provided an end flag indicating whether the block is
an end block containing an end portion of a data of a
predetermined unit; and during a data write, the end flag of
the block where an end portion of a data of a predetermined
unit is written be set to a state indicating an end block.

Abstract: For leak testing closed containers, such containers are placed
into a sealingly closed test cavity. From the inside of the
container to a space between the outer surface of the container
and the wall of the test cavity, a pressure difference
is applied which would lead to bowing outwards of flexible
wall portions of the container. This is prevented by
projections (133) at the wall of the test cavity which
supports such wall portions of the container. Recesses (132)
between the projections (133) make sure that the installed
pressure in the space between outer surface of container and
test cavity wall is dissipated all around the container in
spite of the projection (133).

Abstract: The breakout cable is made up of an arrangement of optical fiber ribbon
structures (10). Arranged above and/or below the optical fibers (12) in each of the ribbon
structures are strength members (14,16). The combined optical fibers and strength members are
surrounded by a sheath (18) thereby forming the high
strength, sheathed optical fiber ribbon structure arrangement. A plurality of these
individually sheathed ribbon structures (22,24,26,28) can be stacked to form higher density
ribbon bundles (20), or subunits, which can be further surrounded by sheaths (30).
Similarly, a large numbers of such high density ribbon bundle subunits can be
combined within a protective sheath (42,68) to form cables (40,50) which can be pulled through
risers and plenums in the construction of premises, such as apartment buildings
or commercial buildings, or used in appropriate indoor/outdoor applications.
Accordingly, even as subunits are broken out of the cables, and as ribbon
structures are broken out of the subunits, the optical fibers will still be surrounded
by high strength members which will help protect them from breakage.

Abstract: In an ATM over STM transmission system, comprising a transmitter (2) and a receiver (5), a local clock (24) in the receiver (5) has to be synchronized to a clock (4) in the transmitter (2). To achieve said synchronization, the receiver (5) comprises timing signal extraction means (22) which generates a timing signal each time a first byte of an ATM cell is received in a first byte of an STM frame. Due to the periodically occurrence of the timing signal this is very suitable for synchronizing a local clock (24). In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, a timing reference value is transmitted by the transmitter (2) to the receiver (4). This timing reference signal is temporarily stored in a buffer (26) in the receiver (4). At the instant the timing signal is present at the output of the timing extraction means (22) the content of the buffer (26) is loaded into the clock counter (24).
